NSCA - CSCS - Chapter 2 questions n
answers rated A+ latest update
acceleration - ANS ✔✔the change in velocity per unit time
agonist - ANS ✔✔also called the prime mover. The muscle most directly involved in bringing
about a movement
anatomical position - ANS ✔✔the body is erect, the arms are down at the sides, and the palms
face forward
angle of pennation - ANS ✔✔angle between the muscle fibers and an imaginary line between
the muscle's origin and insertion; 0° corresponds to no pennation
angular displacement - ANS ✔✔the angle through which an object rotates, for which the SI unit
is the radian
angular velocity - ANS ✔✔the object's rotational speed, measured in radians per second
antagonist - ANS ✔✔a muscle that can slow down or stop the movement
biomechanics - ANS ✔✔the mechanisms through which the musculoskeletal components
interact to create movement
bracketing technique - ANS ✔✔a form of acceleration training in which the athlete performs the
sport movement with less than normal and greater than normal resistance
, cartilaginous joint - ANS ✔✔a slightly movable joint in which cartilage unites bony surfaces
classic formula - ANS ✔✔the load lifted divided by body weight to the two-thirds power
concentric muscle action - ANS ✔✔a muscle action in which the muscle shortens because the
contractile force is greater than the resistive force. The forces are generated within the muscle
and acting to shorten it are greater than the external forces acting as its tendons to stretch it
distal - ANS ✔✔away from the center of the body
dorsal - ANS ✔✔toward the posterior of the body
eccentric muscle action - ANS ✔✔a muscle action in which the muscle lengthens because the
contractile for is less than the resistive force. The forces generated within the muscle and acting
to shorten it are less than the external forces acting as its tendons to stretch it
fibrous attachment - ANS ✔✔a band of tough, inelastic fibrous tissues that connects a muscle
with its bony attachment
first-class lever - ANS ✔✔a lever for which the muscle force ad resistive force act on opposite
sides of the fulcrum
fleshy attachment - ANS ✔✔a form of muscle attachment in which the epimysium is continuous
with the perimysium of the muscle
fluid resistance - ANS ✔✔the resistive force encountered by an object moving through a fluid
(liquid or gas), or by a fluid moving past or around an object or through an opening
